The Lion discovers a magical world as he chases the fruit from the palm tree into a deep hole. There he finds Zebra eating all of his fruit. Zebra apologizes and agrees to give the Lion a drum, in exchange for the food. The drum provides Lion with so much food that he is able to share it with his friends. However, one day the drum breaks. Lion returns to Zebra, and lies to him in order to receive a larger drum. Little does he know that you can’t fool Zebra. Rather than receive more food from the drum, the Lion is chased by a swarm of bumble bees.
Bobo, the spider prepares a meal and just as he is about to eat, he is interrupted by an unexpected guest.

When the tables get turned, Bobo also misses out on the turtle’s lovely meal. Activity plans for this and all episodes available @ ABFC.co Produced by ABF Creative.
